When Oluwaseun Odeyemi’s neighbour began clearing the snow in front of her and her husband’s house, the random act helped build for them a sense of belonging.
It’s not that the Nigerian-born Winnipeggers weren’t capable of shoveling themselves. But the kindness behind the deed was what shone through for them, like the pavement.
“That goes a long way. And it shows us that there are people around the world even in your neighbourhood that can show kindness and it would go a long way to actually make you feel that you belong in that community,” she said.
